100 A Waste Age Staff Report
June 1, 2005
18 Min Read
DESPITE INDUSTRY-WIDE BELLYACHES about the tough business climate and higher costs in 2004, this year's Waste Age 100 report indicates that there was still much money to made in solid waste management. The top four companies maintained their rankings from the previous year — Waste Management, followed by Allied Waste Industries, then Republic Services and Onyx North America — and all four posted revenue increases from 2003 to 2004.
“Our financial results for the year were driven by strong revenue growth due to higher volumes and escalating yield growth during the last half of the year,” said David P. Steiner, CEO of Waste Management, when he reported the company's 2004 earnings. “This indicates that our multi-faceted pricing initiatives are gaining traction. Fourth-quarter revenues also benefited from continued cleanup efforts in Florida related to third-quarter hurricanes,” he added.
Allied's revenues were pumped up in part by internal growth. Similarly for Republic, higher revenues resulted from internal growth, which increased 7.2 percent. Of that, 3.5 percent came from price increases, while 3.7 percent came from volume, the company indicated.
Looking further down the Waste Age 100, it appears as if most companies on the 12th annual listing also found ways to feed their operations, regardless of whether the source was price increases or cost-cutting measures. Because even when their rankings fell, most companies still grew revenues.
So what happened to the effects of steel, insurance and fuel cost increases? Companies continue to successfully implement measures to ensure profitability. Republic said it actually lowered its insurance and maintenance costs by reinforcing a culture of safety and reviewing procedures.
Yet companies still cannot turn their watchful eyes away from the bottom line. In 2005, WM anticipates fuel costs, net of fuel surcharges, will increase by $17 million and benefit costs will increase by $50 million, Steiner noted.
Waste Age presents its 12th annual list of the most powerful players in the waste industry.
